As per the Global Nutrition Report released in 2022, stunting and wasting are some of the significant nutritional challenges for Colombia’s population. Nearly 1.6% of Colombia’s children are wasted, which is higher than the regional average of Latin America and the Caribbean region (1.3%). Poor nutritional status of children has also been linked with iron deficiencies among women, with nearly 21.2% of women in the reproductive age group suffering from anaemia. This has resulted in low weight at birth in nearly 10.0% of all infants born in Colombia, with only 36.7% of them being exclusively breastfed. The rising prevalence of obesity among people (20.0% of men and 29.3% of women) is also expected to drive the demand for functional foods in Colombia.

Rising demand for probiotics
There is a growing demand for probiotics, which can be attributed to increasing consumer awareness surrounding digestive health and maintaining high levels of immunity.
Fortification of regular foods
The fortification of regular foods, including dairy products, desserts, and snacks, to enhance their consumer appeal and reduce nutrient deficiencies is aiding the market.
Customised ingredients for addressing allergies
The rising incidence of food allergies has prompted market players to manufacture customised functional foods that cater to the unique issues faced by consumers.
Increasing demand for soy
The rising demand for soy can be attributed to the increasing demand for protein consumption, which boosts satiety and builds muscle mass.
The US accounts for nearly 85% of the total market for soybean meals in Colombia. It is the sixth-largest market for USA’s agricultural products and is responsible for feeding a substantial portion of Colombia’s population. The numerous health benefits of soy, including improved heart health and reduced risk of cancer, have made it an attractive functional ingredient in many food products for manufacturers.
